Storage & Logistics

Tank Farm & Storage Infrastructure

KNPZ operates a multi-product tank farm situated within the refinery complex in Kostanai. Our storage infrastructure is designed to hold a strategic buffer of each product category, enabling us to fulfil large orders and respond to peak demand periods — including agricultural seasons, winter heating seasons, and construction project surges — without supply interruption.

Storage Categories

Light products (gasoline, diesel), heavy products (mazut, bitumen), LPG

Tank Construction

Atmospheric vertical steel tanks (light/heavy products)

Heated Storage

Thermally insulated and heated tanks for bitumen and mazut

LPG Storage

Pressurised bullet tanks with safety relief systems

Metering

Calibrated custody-transfer flow meters, certified by state metrological authorities

Safety Systems         

Overflow protection, fire suppression, vapour recovery units

Level Monitoring

Continuous radar-level gauging with control room readout

Road Tanker Dispatch

Our truck loading rack is designed for efficient, safe, and metered loading of road tankers. We operate multiple loading arms, allowing simultaneous dispatch of different product grades. All volumes are measured through certified meters, with loading documentation generated electronically for each transaction.

  • Multiple product loading positions (light products, heavy products)
  • Vapour recovery system during loading
  • Bottom-loading capability for modern ADR-compliant tankers
  • Vehicle weighbridge for pre- and post-load verification
  • Electronic loading records with product certificates issued at point of dispatch

Rail Cistern Loading

KNPZ has direct rail connection enabling efficient loading of standard Kazakhstan Railways (KTZ) cisterns for bulk product shipment. Rail supply is particularly suited to large-volume buyers and clients in locations without direct road tanker access. Product transfer to rail is fully metered and documented.

  • Top-loading rail rack for diesel, gasoline, and mazut
  • Heated loading facilities for viscous products (bitumen, mazut)
  • Integration with KTZ freight logistics systems
  • Handling of both own-account and customer-provided cisterns
